In degenerate, compensated and viscous - crystalline alloy, , the Global Einstein -and- Van Cong relations, as those given in Equations (24, 31), and various optical-electrical-thermoelectric laws, enhanced by: the optico-electrical phenomenon (O-EP) and the electro-optical pheno...

MANAGEMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL WASTE

Pharmaceutical products are vital for disease prevention and treatment, but their rising production and consumption have generated significant pharmaceutical waste from households, farms, healthcare facilities, and industries due to routine use, damage, or expiry. Improper dispos...

Stable isotopes as integrators of soil biogeochemistry and tree growth across contrasting hardwood forest soils

Abstract Background & aims Forest productivity and resilience are influenced by soil conditions; however, the mechanisms linking soil properties, isotopic signatures, and tree growth remain incompletely understood. This study evaluated whether soil carbon (δ 13 C) and nitroge...

Case Study: Closing the Loop on Fracture Execution With Real-Time Subsurface Measurements

_ Hydraulic fracturing execution has historically relied on surface treating pressure as the primary information source for evaluating a stage. However, treating pressure is a composite signal that blends pipe friction and perforation friction, limiting its usefulness for diagnos...

A living scientific program map for the Standard Coherence Fidelity Layer (SCFL) and the Upstream Coherence Measurement Stratum (UCMS) research canon. This document distinguishes explicitly between established parent literatures (critical transitions, cascading failure, resilienc...

ADVANCES IN TARGETED DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND THERAPEUTIC OPPORTUNITIES

Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common cause of dementia and is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment. It mainly affects elderly individuals and accounts for nearly 60–70% of dementia cases worldwide. The disease is associated with neuronal degenera...

Preoperative predictors of patient-reported outcomes after joint-preserving forefoot surgery for rheumatoid arthritis

Aims: Forefoot deformities are common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and often impair quality of life. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire (SAFE-Q), are increasingly used to assess surgical outcomes;...
